About

Locked in a room for five days, three of Hollywood's greatest film collaborators rush to rewrite the screenplay for Gone with the Wind, which has halted production after three weeks. In this uproarious farce, David O. Selznick and Victor Fleming hilariously enact scenes from Margaret Mitchell's famous novel, while Ben Hecht works furiously to perfect the dialogue. An outrageous and intriguing peek into the back room of the Golden Age of Hollywood, audiences watch banana peels and peanut shells fly as these three race against the clock to produce one of the greatest films of all time.

"Frankly, my dear, this is one funny play. A rip-roaring farce [with] witty, pointed dialogue and hilarious situations." - NY Daily News

"At once a hyperventilating slapstick comedy, an impassioned love song and a blazing critique of Hollywood." - Chicago Sun Times
